Large format: Bender photo 4x5 view camera with a 200 mm Schneider lens and a #1 Copal shutter.

I shot Nikon for 25 years and then switched to Canon because the Canon EOS 1Dmark Ii better suited how and what I shoot. With the rapid changing Digital cameras that are coming out you have to say buy what will meet your needs and consider do you need a camera with a system behind it..lens etc. for add on??
I have a small pocket Panasonic my Daughter uses or my granddaugher uses when we go somewhere like the zoo. I carry the little camera with me to ball games and a lot of places where you are not suppose to have a camera. What meets your needs. Maybe even a film camera??
I suspect the polling feature doesn't allow for it. Don't know. But I have several brands - Hasselblad (MF), Nikon (35mm film and digital), Pentax, (35mm film and digital) Lomo (35mm), Holga (MF), Nikonos (35mm) and Canham (4x5).
Regards, Art.

I shoot with an old Olympus E-10 SLR. It has a fixed lens and fastest shutter is 1/640, but darnit, I love the camera. It huge and heavy which I like, fits my hands. I shoot alot on the lake and outdoors so the fixed lens keeps any dirt out of the camera. I should probably upgrade to a new Nikon or Canon soon, but to me a camera is like a good truck, use the hell out of it until its broke.
I started out shooting with Pentax 35mm film - old school before auto focus. I used the camera so rarely because of film costs, and my being a destitute college student, that I can almost discount those experiences all together.
Then many many years latter, the digital craze started and I never looked back. I primarily have been shooting Canon DSLR's. Started with Canon Digital Rebel, then Canon 20D, and now Canon 5D. I sold my Rebel but still have the other 2 cameras.
Digital has come such a long way, that now with full frame 35mm DSLR's at an affordable price, I think that my my work has far surpassed my film days by huge leaps and bounds. I'm loving the digital age of photography and I am never going back.
I too am a multi instrument photographer.
I still own my very first Pentax K1000, which has traveled most of the planet with me, as well as an ME Super, and an S10. When I went to digital I picked up an istD, because of the vast quantity of Pentax glass I own.
When I first started in the early 80's, I shot Contax with Zeiss lenses, though sadly I don't have any of that gear left. Wore it out.
I also shoot with some Fuji, Kodak, Rolleiflex, and Retinetta, when I am in the mood.
Come to think of it, all of the cameras I have shot professionally with ended in "X." (Contax, Pentax, Rolleiflex) I had never noted that before...
